Citizen/Soldier Lyrics By 3 Doors Down

    beyond the boundaries of your city’s lights
    stand the heroes waiting for your cries
    so many times you did not bring this on yourself
    when that moment finally comes
    i’ll be there to help

    hook
    on that day when you need
    your brothers and sisters to care
    i’ll be right here

    citizen soldiers
    holding the light for the ones that we guide
    from the dark of despair
    standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
    we’ll always be ready
    because we will always be there

    when there are people crying in the streets
    when they’re starving for a meal to eat
    when they simply need a place to make their beds
    right here underneath my wing
    you can rest your head

    hook
    on that day when you need
    your brothers and sisters to care
    i’ll be right here

    citizen soldiers
    holding the light for the ones that we guide
    from the dark of despair
    standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
    we’ll always be ready
    because we will always be there

    there there there

    hope and pray that you’ll never need me
    but rest assured i will not let you down
    i’ll walk beside you but you may not see me
    the strongest among you may not wear a crown

    hook
    on that day when you need
    your brothers and sisters to care
    i’ll be right here

    hook
    on that day when you don’t have the strength
    for the burden you bear
    i’ll be right here

    citizen soldiers
    holding the light for the ones that we guide
    from the dark of despair
    standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
    we’ll always be ready
    because we will always be there
